- Using libgphoto2 as a normal user
- ---------------------------------
-
- This version of libgphoto2-installs udev files in /etc/udev/libgphoto2.rules to
- allow camera access to all members of group 'plugdev'.
-
- This means the only configuration is to add authorized users to the 'plugdev'
- group. Note that group changes will only apply when you relog.
-
- udev may fail to set group ownership for cameras that are not explicitely known
- by gphoto2, if you know your camera is a generic PTP model not handled by udev,
- you can create a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/, say z25_my_camera.rules, with such
- a content:
-
- ACTION=="add", SYSFS{idVendor}=="XXXX", SYSFS{idProduct}=="YYYY", \
- MODE="0660", GROUP="plugdev"
-
- You can get XXXX and YYYY value with lsusb, for example:
-
- Bus 001 Device 010: ID 04a9:3125 Canon, Inc.
- ^^^^ ^^^^
- XXXX YYYY
-
- You can also send the USB ID as a Debian bug report or to gphoto2 development
- mailing list at gphoto-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
-
- Note: before 2.2.1-9, the group was not 'plugdev' but 'camera'.
-
-
- Note: /etc/udev/rules.d/025_libgphoto2.rules is a symlink created
- the first libgphoto2 is installed; it can be removed and won't
- be recreated on updates.
